Spring: Day 1

March 20, 2009

First day of spring, so it seems fitting that the White House picked today for the ground breaking of the organic 1,100 sq ft kitchen garden that will now be the south lawn. I’m sure somewhere Alice Water’s is smiling and reveling in the fact that local, sustainable foods are now front and center, on America’s backyard.

That in mind, I need to start moving on my garden plans. Strawberries, rosemary, and arugula seem to still be alive (woo hoo!), compost pile is not exactly composting but perhaps it would help if I purchased a composter and stopped using a bucket. Might be nice to not chase the dogs around to reclaim pepper and tomato cuttings every time I let them onto the deck.
